Old Government House: Governance

Governance: The Exhibition (10 contemporary artists respond to the role of governance today) 10 March – 16 April 2017.

This event finished on 16 April 2017.

The National Trust of Australia (NSW) is excited to announce our new exhibition: GOVERNANCE at Old Government House, Parramatta from 10th March to 16 April. Curated by Lizzy Marshall, this temporary exhibition forms a unique partnership between three iconic cultural institutions; Old Government House, Parramatta Artist’s Studios and the City of Parramatta. 2017 also marks the 50th anniversary of the National Trust NSW looking after this World Heritage property, and all OGH pro rams in this year reflect the Governance theme.

Displayed throughout Old Government House in both the public and private rooms, Governance features work from some of Australia’s most exciting artists: Marian Abboud, Liam Benson, Linda Brescia, Fiona Davies, Kath Fries, Nadia Odlum, Naomi Oliver, Abdullah M.I. Syed, Salote Tawale, and Hanna Toohey. A broad array of diverse artworks including digital mappings, drawings, iterations of in-situ performances, sculptures, suspended installations and mixed media artworks will be installed in situ amongst Old Government House’s renowned colonial narratives.

GOVERNANCE is made possible through a City of Parramatta Creative Projects Leverage Fund grant
